I loved the story. Hmm, so how did Clark escape Lex's trap? Was he just too smart to go and talk to Lex as SM, and did he decide to not give Lex even that much control over him.
Why he actually went and spoke with Lex never really made sense. This makes a lot more sense, and is much more satisfying than canon. Of course, I can see why they did things the way they did. It would have almost been to clean a closure for the season to get another one. Also, it would have deprived them of the triangle-built-for-two aspect of the show much quicker. OK, technically Lois does not know CK=SM yet, but I can't see him keeping her in the dark on that much longer.
Although, even if he does, the love-triangle-of-two dies when Lois tells Clark unequivocably "I love you". The key to its life is Clark thinking Lois only really loves SM.
